Around the World Icebreaker Game

Have the children stand in a circle. Give one child a ball. When the teacher blows a whistle, the children begin passing the ball around the circle. When the whistle blows again, everyone stops.

The child holding the ball must quickly shout out their name and the name of a country* somewhere in the world.

Start passing the ball again. Each time the whistle stops the game, the child holding the ball must give their name and name a country--but they cannot name the same country given by the previous child!

Continue playing until everyone has had a chance to introduce themselves.

Variation: For older children, make it more challenging by not allowing any country to be repeated during the entire game.
